HIGH ARTS SHOWCASE XVII
Exhibition: March 19-April 10, 2021
High Arts Showcase XVII is a component of the JOURNEY Arts in Education Program. It provides partner school students with the opportunity to present their talents in a gallery setting through this exclusive visual art exhibition. This unique event enables students to learn firsthand what is involved throughout the experience; from submitting entries and writing a bio and/or artist statement to promotion and interaction with the arts community.
We will be featuring select artwork from this exhibition again for the 2021 winter/spring issue of our newsletter – Arts Cultural News. In order to be considered for this opportunity we must receive high resolution images of registered artwork with loan agreement forms by December 21st, 2020. This is an exciting opportunity for student artists to have their works promoted to the entire township of Huntington.
There are 8 high schools in our participating districts. JOURNEY partner school districts this year are Cold Spring Harbor, Commack, Harborfields, Huntington, Kings Park, Northport-East Northport, Plainview-Old Bethpage and South Huntington.
